I read of your miracles
I learned of your word
Yet all of this time
Your voice went unheard.
I stumbled through darkness
Searching for a hand
Someone to reach down
And help me to stand.
Yet patiently watching
Until I prepared
He knew I was lonely
He knew I was scared.
He stood knocking
At my closed door;
Before long my hard heart
Just could not ignore
The feeling that I was
A stranger on earth.
The greatest miracle
Was my second birth;
In a single instant
It couldn't be done
He worked on my heart
Til He knew it was won.
He took me on a journey
To His Calvary
Where He gave so much
So that I could be free.
That love and that mercy
I can't understand
When He suffered pain
Mortals could not withstand.
To think that He conquered
Sin and death for all men;
So that we can be with
Our loved ones again
And so we can experience
That changing of heart
Where commandments aren't burdens
And living well is an art.
We present our masterpiece
At the end of the day
And He'll see from our lives
If we've walked in his way.
Redeemer and Saviour,
Father and God,
Help me to follow the path
That you trod.
